“On behalf of the three of us,” the proud father tweeted, “I would like to thank you all for your kind words and best wishes. It means a lot to us.”

New mum Dannii’s Twitter account has remained quiet as she bonds with her new baby.
“Mother and baby are doing well and dad is very proud,” Minogue’s management said in a media release.
“They request their privacy at this special time to adjust as new parents.”

Earlier in the week Smith appeared to be preparing for fatherhood. “Ah, now a typical dad’s Sunday,” he tweeted, “sat at the carwash with a coffee and a paper. I’ve changed.”
Baby Ethan was born on Monday, July 5, at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne after complications arose during the planned home birth, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Sister Kylie will head to Australia later this month to meet her new nephew.
